Robert Lewandowski has once again confirmed he is absolutely not thinking of a move away from Barcelona any time soon.
The Poland international will turn 36 in the summer but says he’s still feeling good at Barcelona and a transfer is not on the agenda.
“Yes, saying goodbye is definitely out of the question for me. Changing in the summer is not an issue. I feel physically good again now.
“I had physical problems in the first half of the season, right from the beginning of the preparation. Things got better in 2024. I played good games, sometimes in a different role, as a false nine: I was able to provide assists and help shape the game.
“As long as I continue to feel as good as I do now and notice in training that no one is outrunning me, I want to keep playing. As of today, I say: This will continue for at least two more years.”
Lewandowski’s current contract runs until 2026 but there has been speculation he could be targeted by Saudi clubs in the summer window.
However, the forward says a move to the Middle East or Major League Soccer is not on the horizon.
“I haven’t bothered with it for a second so far. Neither with a move to Saudi Arabia nor to the USA. That doesn’t make sense at the moment,” he added.
“At some point it’s about what my heart and my head say. When I’m 38 years old and the pain comes, I have to ask myself: Do I even want to continue? But I don’t want to plan that far yet. Currently I say: I can definitely play at this highest level by 2026.”
Lewandowski won the Pichichi in his first season with Barca but hasn’t quite managed to be as prolific in the current campaign, although he does have 20 goals to his name in all competitions so far.
